Plants that eat mammals are way more concerning than venus fly traps.

Was a diesel mechanic for a summer, the power stroke is a good motor and I like the f series more than other pickups but they came in the most often for maintenance, take that how you will. Cummins didn’t break much so it was rare to see them but it was damn near a pleasure to work on them, the old diesel rams give you so much room to work with and don’t put stupid shit in the way. If every single GM executive goes to hell exclusively for the Duramax I wouldn’t consider that unjust.

So intrusive thoughts won while I was in the bathroom and I grabbed a square of toilet paper. Boy oh boy will it light paper on fire.

I haven’t tried setting paper on fire directly, to be honest. Being that it’s so hot but also a localized heat I suspect it might be hard to get flames from, just embers.

I think it’s the more uneven burn. It’s got an articulating neck type thing so it’ll get into a bowl just fine it just doesn’t want to light it, and joints it just kinda fucks up the end and maybe gets a half-assed light.

My lighter uses an electric arc, great for cigarettes, doesn’t seem to like weed as much.

Might be my browser setup but I read through without seeing a single ad, even in the links at the bottom.

Amazing how you can’t trust either electorally relevant party to not kick off a war.

Sanely, the vice president takes over for the duration of the term and the primary goes as usual, just missing the two previous top picks. That being said we live in a society with a disturbing amount of violent conspiracy theorists so no telling what the aftermath of that one would be.

An expert hijacker purposefully hiding the wreck seems pretty far fetched.

Manifest Destiny in the 21st century.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls generative ai the plagiarism machine.

Those little ad cards are an older concept than the filters.

That’s definitely a new one in the AI v. Captcha arms race, and it’s only going to get worse from here. Build a better sword, need a better shield.

I sure don’t, constantly feel like I’m driving a car with feet that don’t touch the pedals. Luckily I’ve got one hell of a community around me, and although the town’s nickname is Shitshow USA we seem to make it work.

He’s the epitome of a manager, he spent his stint at the White House running his mouth and desperately hoping somebody else would do anything that required more effort than posing in photo shoots, of course a war would’ve blown a hole through the pile of shit he calls a public appearance.

A literal ton wouldn’t do anything measurable but yeah, adding more material of lower atomic numbers would in theory work considering it’s a fusion engine and wouldn’t exactly scoff at having to break the water molecule before using it.

Edit: like maybe if there was a star with a bunch of particularly wet planets around it and you somehow deorbited them, since as far as I’m aware the elements heavier than iron are just dead weight, they wouldn’t put out the star or anything.

Usually these headlines don’t actually make me laugh out loud but this one pulled it off.

I mean, donations are their only income so they have to ask but that doesn’t mean they don’t get enough.

I might just be old fashioned enough to think that YouTube probably shouldn’t be your first stop in an emergency.
